Today, I met one of my favorite webcomic artists. As I purchased a shirt from their booth, he asked, "What size?" I stupidly asked "How big is a small?" He chuckled, "It's small" and chuckled some more. So much for keeping it cool. FML
Collection
College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I donated blood at a blood drive. As is the usual for blood drives, I was offered a shirt after donating. The worker handing out the shirts asked me for my size. I said that I was a medium. He looked me over, then asked, "Are you sure?" FML
Today, I went shopping with my friend. The store was having a special where if you spend over $75 you receive a free T-shirt. I paid for my items and my total was over $75. The salesman didn't hand me a shirt so I asked him for one. He looks at me and says "I'm sorry, we only have Mediums." FML
Today, I was giving a lecture when I noticed everyone smiling at me. I thought my jokes were finally landing until a coworker pointed out that the price tag from my brand-new shirt was hanging out of the back of my collar the entire time. FML
Today, while standing in line at the grocery store, I noticed that myself and the woman in front of me were wearing the same shirt. As she was about to leave, I said to her "Hey! I'm wearing that shirt!" She turned to me and replied, "Not in THIS size you aren't." FML
Today, it was my first day at my new job, which requires you to wear a special shirt. Come to find out, they only have medium sized shirts. I'm an XL. They demanded I wear the shirt anyway. FML
Today, I went to get new shoes. I'm a pretty tall girl and I have proportional feet. I asked the cute guy who worked there for a size 9.5. He burst into laughter before putting on a shocked face and saying, "Oh wait... You're serious." Goodbye, self esteem. FML
Today, I ordered a designer jacket online. When it arrived, it was doll-sized. It turns out that I bought a limited edition meant for action figures. FML
Today, a man at the comic book store I work at asked me if Spider-Man is based on a real story, and verbally abused me when, thinking he was joking, I laughed. He wasn't. FML
Today, my friends and I were shopping for dresses. I asked the lady at the counter for a size 4, she looked at me and mumbled, "Yeah, right…" in front of everyone. FML
Today, I wore a new shirt I was really pleased to have bought. As soon as I put it on, I noticed it was a bit tight, but I thought it would stretch out. By the end of the day, I looked like I was wearing a sausage casing. My coworkers couldn’t stop laughing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's not even a stupid question - you clearly meant it as in measurements. At least I hope that's what you meant.

To be fair, clothes range from different sizes no matter what their tag says. I picked up two sweaters the other day, a size 6 and a size 10, and they were both the same size. It's confusing haha.

Perfectly sensible question. This guy was just being a bit of a jerk. The man laughs at his own jokes, tells you all you need to know really.

Yeah, sizes are different everywhere. I have 2 t shirts that I got at concerts for my favorite band- one's a medium, one's a small, and the small is bigger than the medium. So you have to ask.

I agree, not all clothing run the same size. Ex: I've purchased clothing from Victoria's Secret's catalogs and they usually run bigger than many other companies. Not their bras (those are usually dead on) but their undies, swimsuit bottoms and even some of their T-shirts do. Returns are such a hassle! :P

What is a cat doing inside of Victoria's Secret? :o

Enslaved, I think they do it purposely to make women feel better about themselves. I ordered from their catalog as well and the panties were way to big!

So I'm not the only one. (: I knew my big ass wasn't an extra small!

Asking how big a small is is a reasonable question. Smalls and mediums are never the size I think they are.

Or it could be an Fml comic... That would be fmlinception.

That's not nearly as bad as the person who asked me how big a six-inch hoagie was when I worked at that deli.
stevothedevo 25
'Six-inch hoagie' sounds like a **** actors name.. Only because i have No idea what it is. Lol
gracehi 33
A hoagie is a sub sandwich. That's what it's called in New Jersey.

Must have been a metric system user.

47, Yes, but I was in New Jersey at the time so that's what I said.

50, I hadn't thought of that, but that would explain it. I just showed them the roll, though, so that clarified things for them pretty quickly.

So the small is pretty small... Not big lol..

small enough.

On the bright side, you made him laugh. Don't worry. I met Paul Hogan once and the first thing I said to him was "Shit! I don't have a pen" He laughed though, so it made me feel a bit better about swearing in front of a celebrity. lol
jjmiller1001 17
because celebrities don't swear
GuessWhatKids 13
Many celebrities must swear to be effective at their job..
Ameel_fml 19
Well, yeah, but it's not really the impression 16-year-old me wanted to leave for one of my favorite actors. I...didn't realize that would be such a disagree-worthy comment. o.O
